The first item in the list was 50 22-inch glowsticks for 99c.

Well, Petter, I consider my "silly" time anytime I read any of your lengthy posts that have one paragraph break per 5,000 characters.
I mean, how difficult is it to hit the "Enter" key twice to put a little space in between treatises?
Don't get me wrong - I do enjoy your posts, and think you are a most brilliant and oftimes interesting read.
All I ask is a little space now and then!

Yeah? Well! I'm doing you a favor, my Modest Goddess!
You have school coming up soon and I am trying to wean you from being addicted to posting.
You have studying to do, ya know! And soon - school will come first!
...In addition to the other 5,235 things you have to do on a daily basis anyway...
I'll polish your apples. You will have so much to do, I'll try to help.
Uh, do I use soap?

What a WEIRD experience that was. However I didn't see a button to have the results sent to me. Maybe I'll look at it again.
So, what was your experience like? id you prove you were human?

I couldn't think of anything silly to do, so I'm reading one of my Calvin and Hobbes cartoon books for inspiration. If it snows this weekend, maybe I'll be inspired to make some of his horror snowmen.

Or you could rent a postal uniform and when the mail carrier comes to deliver your mail, greet them at the door and accept your mail, looking just like them!

They ride small motorbikes on the pavements. They wear broad brimmed hats against the sun, they also wear shorts, long socks, sensible shoes, and a nice flurescent yellow sleeveless waistcoat, left open, just so we can see them coming. No thanks.

Lol, you got me there... I was thinking "What the hell is a cat-log?"
As I've worked as a postman some summers and during the Christmas holidays, I know what a drag it is to deliver catalogues. Mail-order clothes catalogues are usually quite heavy and a centimeter or more in thickness. Imagine when you have 500 of them to carry around the neighborhood! Telephone catalogues have to be delivered in batches. Could take you a week or two to get them all out.

Status : Offline | Our telephone books are delivered by special firms with vans. In fact our parcels are sub-contracted out now too. The Post Office only does letters.
We have general junk mail that the big stores put out every few weeks and they are delivered by specialist firms too who employ an army of 'walkers', mums with prams, old folk with shopping trolleys, kids on their bikes. The pay is shocking (I did it myself years ago) but the exercise is great!

I don't think so. It was over 20 years ago when I did it. I was flat broke, working fulltime in a job with a new mortgage and it was summer and they gave me a round (1000 homes) that was very hilly. > I used to go out with Hubby at 10pm till 1am two nights a week. They used to do random checks to make sure you'd done the delivery on the days specified and I was paid $15 per 1000. I notice nowadays that you often get one person delivering 5 or 6 junk mail flyers at once. I hope the pay is better for them.

No guards - just local suburbs. I live in a nice quiet residential area. Even all these years later it's still just as peaceful. Besides, I did have Hubby with me - we'd do adjoining streets and meet up at the corners. There is no one on our streets at that time of night.
Now, I could take you across the city to areas which only get going at 10pm....
But we don't have any guarded residential areas in Adelaide. In fact I remember when a developer built a gated estate of a dozen mansions. Got us all wondering why they needed the gate? I should point out that night-time burglary is extremely rare and unusual here.
